Compatriots Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe will clash in an all-American semifinal showdown at the US Open 2024 on Friday, September 6. One of them will be the first American man to reach a Major final since Andy Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009.
Roddick was also the last American man to reach the US Open final back in 2006. This will be the first semifinal contest between two Americans since Andre Agassi beat Robby Ginepri at the US Open in 2005.
Tiafoe was up against Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals and led 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 4-1 when the latter was forced to call it quits due to an injury. He has now advanced to his second Major semifinal, following his previous last-four finish at the US Open two years ago.
Fritz defeated fourth seed Alexander Zverev 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3) in the quarterfinals to reach his maiden Grand Slam semifinal. This was his second win over a top-10 player during the tournament, having beaten eighth seed Casper Ruud in the fourth round as well.
Fritz leads Tiafoe 6-1 in the head-to-head. The latter won their very first encounter at the Indian Wells Masters in 2016 in three sets, and the former has since taken full control of the rivalry.
All of their matches have been on hard courts. Three of Fritz's six wins over Tiafoe have come in straight sets, including at the Australian Open two years ago, their only other contest at a Major. He won their most recent duel at last year's Mexican Open in straight sets.
With both players aiming to script history, this match promises to be a nail-biter. On that note, here are the details regarding their upcoming encounter:
